Please note that this will be the last release to officially support Python
2.6 and 3.3. The next version of Py-ART will support Python 2.7, 3.4
and 3.5.

The following have been deprecated and will be removed from Py-ART after
one
additional point release (included in 1.7.0, removed in 1.8.0).

  • The 'axes' attribute of the Grid class, the elements found in this
    dictionary
    can now be found elsewhere in the Grid class.
  • pyart.io.add_2d_latlon_axis, the information provided by this function is
    now available in Grid attributes.
  • The Grid class is initialized using a new set of parameters. Support for
    creating Grid instances from using the older parameters is available using
    the from_legacy_parameters method, which will be removed in Py-ART 1.8.0.
  • The pyart.io.read_legacy_grid function was added to read in netCDF files
    containing gridded radar data as produced by Py-ART 1.5.0 and prior.
    This function will be removed in Py-ART 1.8.0.
  • pyart.graph.RadarDisplay_Airborne, now pyart.graph.AirborneRadarDisplay
  • The 'grid_lons', 'grid_lats' and 'proj' attributes of the GridMapDisplay
    class. This information can be found in the Grid attributes.
  • The 'starts', 'ends', 'time_begin', 'radar_name', 'x', 'y', and 'z'
    attribute
    of the RadarDisplay class and subclasses. This information can be
    found in
    attributes of the Radar class.
  • pyart.core.corner_to_point, use pyart.core.geographic_to_cartesian
  • pyart.core.is_vpt, now found at pyart.util.is_vpt
  • pyart.core.to_vpt, now found at pyart.util.to_vpt

Additionally the following portions of the non-public API are also
